Listen "Aftercare - Part 2"
Episode Synopsis
50,000 young people exit institutional care every year when they turn 18. Once they leave, many of them sadly fall off the radar and eventually become “nobody’s responsibility”. Despite aftercare being an integral part of the Juvenile Justice Act, in practice it remains overlooked and inadequate to a large extent. Satyajeet Mazumdar, Head of Advocacy at Catalysts for Social Action talks to Vaishali & Suraj, two care leavers who talk about the ground realities they faced after they left a child care institution, and Bharathy Tahiliani, Founder of Kshamata, who helps us understand what it takes to successfully rehabilitate and reintegrate care leavers into society.
